What People Are Saying About Asia de Cuba
The Editor

With its billowing white curtains, two-story Philippe Starck design and sashaying samba music, Asia de Cuba still draws sexy crowds nightly, and the food hasn't changed much over the years either. There are still immense portions of big, gratifying proteins ranging from crispy calamari salad with chayote and hearts of palm to miso-cured Alaskan black cod, to Cuban black bean and edamame salad. The food is solid and dramatically presented, but more importantly it's always exactly the same--in a good way, like the restaurant experience as a whole. The youngish crowd, which tends to congregate in…

Must go back!
by PussyCat
I took my a family members from out of town here. They were amazed with the decor and more amazed with the food. The short ribs were SO GOOD!! And the dessert was really good too. When you look at the menu, the prices seem a bit much, but since you are sharing, its pretty average. Can't wait to go back..
- Pros: Food, Service, Decor
- Cons: None

Delicious Food
by CityBabe
The pork dish was phenomenal as was the calamari salad. The fried wontons were ok but not a favorite. My friend and I went during restaurant week to make it affordable. The dishes are all shared which stems from the large portions of food. We sat upstairs and overlooked the people eating at the tables downstairs and could see what they were eating and if they enjoyed it or not. From what I could see everyone there was satisfied. I'll definitely go back.
- Pros: Good service, ambience, didn't rush us
- Cons: Expensive but worth it

Dissappointing Meal from a Resident NYC Staple
by greenplantain
First of all, no salad should have bananas. Second, my co-worker and I ordered an entree dish of Cuban bbq chicken that came with an order of coconut sticky rice. I am not usually a critic, but when I go to NYCs fancier restaurants, I expect more than chicken slathered in bbq sauce with some extra spanish seasonings; I can do that at home. We ordered some fried plantains on the side which were cut really thick and were not cooked properly. We subsituted that for some plantain rice which was way too salty. The service was not spectacular. I had Asia De Cuba on my list of places to eat here in the City, but must say that I was very very disappointed. It is very rare that that happens when I dine at the better places.
- Pros: Restaurant Week Price, Thank God
- Cons: Food was horrible!!!!!
The Details on Asia de Cuba
What to Drink:
The gigantic Tiki Puka Puka, a lake of sweet juices and rum, is the only choice for a beverage.
Save Money:
The portions are so enormous that they can easily be split among two or three people, and there may still be enough to take home leftovers.
Know Before You Go:
Despite its lack of buzz, Asia de Cuba is usually booked up, so make a reservation at least several days in advance.
